Didn't realise by telling the TRUTH i would be dubbed a Nazi!
I certainly am not a Nazi! my Grandfather fought those idiotic brain dead morons and if telling the truth makes me a Nazi in your eyes then i'm afraid you need to mature in your mentality!

Quoting Backfire (Thread starter):Just heard (unverified) that the Liberal Democrats in the UK have officially voted to bring Concorde back into service. Nice to see politicians are in touch with reality...

There are at least some politicians thinking in a "non-destructive" way about aviation. This is remarkable itselfes as politicians normally want nothing else than using aircraft for their travel needs, but without airports, noise emissions, pollution etc.

Maybe somebody can bring them on the right way to support aviation and it could work out perfect for other projects lacking support from politicians.

It's VERY true what BMIbaby733 is saying. He is only speaking the truth, and that would make many many people I know so called "Nazi's" as Luisca is accusing. We are already becoming the minority in our own country, receiving much less than most illegal immigrants do...

But as for the Concorde's, I really can't see how they plan to bring them back, from museums all over the world practically. Never mind about the neglet they will have suffered by numerous visitors and being outside in all weather for how ever many years!!

Too late. BMIbaby733 is, in fact, a racist. I won't go as far as calling him a Nazi. Furthermore, his post has no relation whatsoever to the thread topic, nor any other aspect of aviation. I suggest his post be deleted. This is not the place for remarks of that nature. I fail to see why a British Citizen of Pakistani origin could not be Prime Minister.

Back to the message topic. I voted Lib Dem and am a big fan of Concorde, but I fear this really is a no-brainer. Whilst I think everyone agrees it would be nice to see Concorde flying, this would be at the expense of the tax payer if the Lib Dems have 'voted' to bring this back into service. Saying that though I would rather some of the money they take off me went on putting that bird in the sky rather than providing roads, hospitals and security to people like BMIbaby733. Saying that though, it looks as though more money needs to be invested in education, his spelling is appalling .

Well, they'd have to buy BA(who still own their 7 Concordes and who I doubt would sell any of them), give Airbus billions (and I mean billions) of pounds, pay for all the fuel, engineers etc.
Perhaps then it may have a 1% chance of flying again

When you hear the noise of the Tartan Army Boys, we'll be coming down the road!

first of all seen as tho your american i don't see why this concerns you!
but it depends doesen't it? does the Northern irish person want to be priminister so this person can free Northern island from britain or is the person ligitimate and want to run Britain for the British ?

with there being a doubt then no it wouldn't be a good idea because how would anybody know exactly what this person has at heart?

At the risk of repeating myself again, try a search about this.
Lembit Opik has not a clue about all this, he teamed up with the Muppets called 'Save Concorde' who apart from being clueless about the aircraft, manage to upset the very people who might help them even if it was possible, which this former BA Concorde Engineering staffer knows full well it is not.
Sorry, but those are the facts, BA looked long and hard at every possible option 2 years ago.
The Libs last won a UK general election in 1910, go figure.

You certainly are very emotional on that topic. But i have to agree with you that the lib. dems. are far far away from reality. I lived in England and was there before a general election and that was rather interesting.

There is one problem with airbus. Though their products are engineering marvels they lack passion, completely.
